WOW everyone! This is a post I've been sitting on for a long time, and I'm so happy I finally got it out there into the world. This was one of the craziest things I learned when I first became a sustainable designer and started researching. I didn't know about the greenwashing behind aqueous coatings and environmentally-friendly claims. As it turns out, if you are using certain coatings to get glossy effects, or soft-touch matte coatings your cards ARE a single-use plastic and they will not be able to be recycled properly. These reins are very difficult to remove in the deinking, recycling process.⁠
